Ontnno, AUG. 4.—The idea of a French General being appointed heir to the, Crown, appeAred t,o ex travagant, that I not even mention the natne , of General BERNADOTTE, whom rumour had pointed out as a competitor for that exalted dignity ; but it-would really appear that serious intentions have been 'entertained on this subject ; and as a proof, I refer you to the Stockholm Papers, which contain a Very flattering account of that oth-• cer. The panegyric ha 3 been copied 'MO one of our Papers of ttiis day, Which I inclose : but whether the point Will be carried -in his favour remains to be seen..

At the siege of Gradison,where BERNADOTTE exposed him self with unco.timon firmness to the utmost danger, the writer observes, the present King of Naples served under his orders.--(Stocaohn Post.)

Canton and its dependencies ; they returned up 'the river after I wrote you, and committed more horrid depredations than ever, and remained - until the inha bitants bought their peace. with tht-in, at ;be ex pence of a very heavy contribution, both in money and provisions :—during all this time . the Govern ment have confessed themselves unable . to raise troops to expel, or even attempt to face them ; they (the Government) made some °vent:fres to the Eng lish for an equipment to be made by Capt. AUSTIN, and even invited him and ,the Navy Captains into the citY, to .plan the armament but the Viceroy took the alarm while. they were waiting for him at the Flaopoo's house, and' sent an excuse, apologis. in for his non-appearance, on account of a dispatch he had just received from Court., This was a false hood, but has been accounted for by an express he had received from HEONY 511/q7,• advising him that the GoVernment of "Macon petitioned to be employ.- ed on this service, and offering six ships armed, and at the moderate freight of 3000 tales per month -each ; this was 'so contrary to what he would have been okliged to comply with in order to induce the English to assist them,• that the petition of the Por tuguese was graciously acceded to, and they are,now gone out to attack the foe; but 1 tear will make a bad business of it, a report having reached, town that the Pirates have made four of the ships retire to Macna. " The peopie — or - thetuultincl of Ely are to be ransomed for 7,500 dour,_ and flags of twee are agreed on to prpteot the boat that goes for them. The Mercury, was bought by the Canton Go vernment, but they can make no good use of her tor want ol men; the same is the case with a brig that is fitting out under the orders and to be commanded by Captain MAGF.E; the equipment•of the Portu guese is - so far good, that it would give us a tempo rary respite—and if dry, do not succeed in over coming the Pirates ; this . GovernMent will then be convinced they have no other alternative left but applying in a proper manner to the English ; had no equipment of ships taken place, I know not what 'would have become of, us and all our pro perty." captain NORTHERN, Of the 82d Foot,' we are sorry to state, was killed, about a month ago, whilst on guard in the garriston of Gibraltar, by 'falling over the ramparts there. • Saturday the• partners . in bankin-firm of Brickwood and Co. passed their th;rd examination at Guildhall.

At the cbmtneticen:ent of the contest, the yellow, black and red seetned,likely to distance the others. Subsequently the yellow took the lead in great style, and got in first. The red and the pink followed, and got. in almost at the same ibstant immediately after the yellow. The contest of course 'was now confined to those three, and at about six in the evening they started for' •the second heat.

The re d and the pink continued the contest ercar but it was rather a struggle against each other, than against she ytcllow, as that had so decidedly the ad vantage the greater part of the way. , In the end, the red got in below the pink by about three fourths of a length. This match was better contested, and afforded greater amusement than any. that has been witriess-" ed for a considerable time. The sttengtit'and skill of the ,whole of the candidates were the siAbjed of uni versal admiration. All of them merited success ; but the yellow , bow in this, as in many other instances, were perfe6tly irresistible. . .
